Ex-BF’s threat to spread sex video lands him in jail

A man ended up behind bars Thursday night in Quezon City after his ex-girlfriend complained to the police that he was planning to post on the Internet a video of their intimate moments.

Paulo Eriano, 19, allegedly threatened to let the sex video go viral to get back at the 16-year-old complainant who broke up with him last month.

Members of the Anonas police station of the Quezon City Police District had Eriano booked for violation of Republic Act 9995 or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009, which carries a penalty of three to seven years in prison. He remained in detention as of Friday.

In her complaint, the girl said she had a relationship with the suspect from May to October this year. When she decided to leave him, Eriano—who had recorded their sexual encounters—allegedly made the threats.

The girl said she was forced to go the police after a friend managed to get a copy of the sex video and showed it to her. Julie M. Aurelio
